Is that your interpretation? Because I found it humourous. I was laughing throughout, I think he's a deeply satirical man and his intention for the book, apart from exploring themes involving the human condition, was to overly-exaggerate every literary genre to the point of humour.

I tend to notice mostly that part.I didn't literary analyse it while reading,because I was paying attention to the meaning of the story more than to his hidden writing intentions. I'll re-read it sometime more 'responsibly'

It's Kind Of A Funny Story by Ned Vizzini and
Someday This Pain Will Be Useful To You by Peter Cameron.
They were both books with characters that have pretty different lives from me yet I share all their thoughts.
So much so that it scares me.

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, as well as his fairy tales.
At our library there's a book which contains Dorian Gray as well as the fairy tales and I constantly borrow it. I can't find it in any book shop though, it's such a pity.
